Construction Practice Knowledge for Complementing Classroom Teaching during Site Visits
Abstract Purpose As video-based interventions are continuously utilized as alternatives to physical site visits, directing students’ attention to specific learning contents within videos could increase their comprehension and stimulate their interest. Students’ knowledge of construction practice can be reinforced, misconceptions and improper inferences can be reduced by calling out significant learning concepts. However, few studiesContinue reading “Construction Practice Knowledge for Complementing Classroom Teaching during Site Visits”
Industry Perception of the Suitability of Wearable Robot for Construction Work
Abstract Work-related musculoskeletal disorders is a serious problem affecting the construction workforce. Pipe workers are subjected to forward bending tasks that cause back injuries. Recent advancements in wearable robotic technologies have led to a growing interest in the use of back-support exoskeletons as a potential solution to reduce the occurrences of back injuries. However, withoutContinue reading “Industry Perception of the Suitability of Wearable Robot for Construction Work”
